Investor Insights

This summary was created by AI, based on 4 opinions in the last 12 months.

Seagate Technology has garnered mixed reviews from various experts reflecting divergent perspectives on its stock performance. One reviewer cautions that the stock may be undervalued, labeling it a value trap, while another points to a strong earnings report from Dell as a positive catalyst for Seagate. Additionally, excitement is building around Seagate's latest quarterly results, with some analysts expressing optimism that the company is well-positioned to capitalize on trends in artificial intelligence driving a refresh cycle in PCs. As major players like Dell and AMD report growth in their PC segments, especially surrounding AI capabilities, Seagate's market position suggests potential for margin expansion, with projections of significant improvement in gross margins. However, early sentiments continue to warn about potential risks associated with timing and overall market volatility.

Western Digital, WDC-Q

DON'T BUY

The stock has never done and has always been cheap. It's a value trap.

BUY

A buy off of Dell's strong earnings report.

BUY

Seagate just reported a great quarter.

BUY

Just bought this for the first time. AI is driving a new refresh cycle in PCs. Also, we haven't upgraded PCs in 4-5 years. Dell just said their PC business was up 3% instead of the expected -2%. HPQ will see growth in the second half of this year, for the first time in 2 years. Also, AMD said last Sunday that their AI PC chips are 5x the speed of existing chips. Seagate leads this sector. Gross margins are poised to go higher. Margins could expand 1,000 basis points year over year. They have pricing power and volumes are rising. She might be early on it, but that's fine.

BUY

Memory chips are bottoming now and management just stood behind its 4.8% dividend yield.

BUY

It has bottomed. It pays a 5.4% dividend yield and trades at 11x in a business that has insatiable demand for hard-drive storage.

DON'T BUY

Missed earnings and was downgraded today. Much prefers Taiwan Semi and Samsung which are behemoths compared to Seagate.

Hard drives refuse to die. Hoya is the only supplier of glass platters, so that's where he's invested. Hard drives will be transitioning from aluminum to glass over the next 5 years.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly This solid dividend player is trading at a great PE valuation following its most recent earnings report. Earnings reflected a 10% drop in revenues from a year ago, as HDD was weaker than expected, but was partially offset by its cloud data center demand and video applications. The company stands by its guidance numbers, whose mid-points are above current analyst expectations. Trading at a 10 PE it is great value compared to the sector average PE of 63. It pays a great dividend backed by a 38% payout ratio. We would trade this with a $42 stop-loss, looking for a technical target of $60 -- almost 25% upside. Yield 5.47% (Analysts’ price target is $53.41)

DON'T BUY

Technically, this has rolled over and has a lot of work to do. The company has continued to have earnings beat, which is always a good thing. However, they are flat lining. Dividend yield of almost 7%.

COMMENT

This is in the business of making hard drives, and can be quite a volatile stock. The pricing for disk drives and some of the components they make can be very, very volatile. That can lead to volatility in earnings.
